What are your worst slip ups while betting?

can u explain what slip up means for the non english speakers? txs

A 'slip up' bascially means a 'mistake' you have made.

slip = underwear :P

oh if it's that, my worst slip is when i backed Verdasco against Cilic in Paris last year with 1 break up. All brown in the end

doubling down after a loser is always a no-no!

backing Almagro almost full bank vs Youznhy in that match when Youz smashed his racket in his head and started to bleed.

I backed Almagro at that point when both were smiling while doctor was talking to Youz...

don´t know there are too many. 2012: not trading Nadal at 4-2 throwing potential thousands
biggest virtual loss ever

Backing Murray... everytime

not trading Roddick with 3 set points v hewit was pretty bad too

one of my biggest slips came just now when i didnt trade out the hidalgo match when i could have earned a fortune starting from very little.

I remember one, i backed at surprisingly good odds a basket team leading by 6 points thinking we was 2 minutes from the end and in fact it was 2 minutes from half time. I redded out at half time by security, knowing nothing to basket, and of course they still won in he end

I have tons of slips ups, my favourites are 'overstaking' and 'not trading out for greediness'.

+1
always the greed ffs after all this time

because of emotional betting/greed, Holland v Russia euro2008 is still and should always be my biggest loss
"they just could not lose"

I probably should have explained it better.

Most people are talking in hindsight, when there fingers have been burnt, what the OP meant was, what mistake have you done by accident, for example if you wanted to back Player at 1.6 but clicked the lay button instead or where you have accidently typed a wrong figure in the stake box, for example pressing an extra 0 and not realising unitl you've pressed confirm.

Can't say I've done anything like that thankfully,

I've pressed the wrong button only once, got on U2.5 when wanted O2.5. I didn't realize at the time, watched the full match and thought lost the money as it was 2-0 final. When I logged in, I didn't know where the money had come from and then checked my bets and realized I placed it wrongly...luckily that time!

ah, this one is easy then. lay in outright where i meant to back, just hit the wrong field. at a humongous price too!
learned to trade myself out of a very bad position that week so i chuck it up to "study-material"
it was a very good learning experience

no point trading now ill keep the bet for the extra 5 quid to lose a million

mine was today telling all the forum to bet on bachinger because robin hasse was injured as I am watching it courtside and then when they all tell me the match is ended already I am saying what do u mean i am watching it first hand at courtside and then when i asked a woman next to me she said it was a different match. I had been sat high up in the stands thinking i was watching hasse v bachinger and i had gone into the wrong court. f*cksake. Thats what u get on a night out drinking and your hungover. sorry lads hope you did not lose money/hold it against me.

You gotta be kidding me

If that is true it is blo*dy hilarious

not even a little bit true. in fact the complete opposite

thats some of the funniest sh1t i have ever read on this forum, second only to iranian shirtless man.

i doubt its true but you still need some time to think if you want to come up with a story like that :D

He-man is fluent in 2 languages English and Bullsh1t

He-Man was before Mardy Fish then Gertrude, for the ones remembering. That means never believe one single word of what he's saying

Falling asleep and laying Djokovic :(

having a large sum on Federer to beat Gulbis in 2010 Rome

I backed Dustin Brown at 1.05 vs Izaak Van Der Merwe for £13000........

it is true lads thats the best bit why would i make myself look a proper idiot i had 1 too many drinks i was tired and just rolled down to the court how the f*ck was i suppose to know it was way high up for me.

I remember the story in Stockholm last year when Nalbandian withdreaw from his match against Blake, Blake and Devvarman played an exhibition instead, but Betfair was not aware and left the Blake-Nalbandian market open and some people was betting on it ! I remember the comment of one forumite i will not name because i have sympathy for him saying he was surprised the way Nalbandian was looking on the stream, no kidding it was Devvarman . Betfair finally voided the bets of course.

why the heck were you backing Ruffin!? he doesn't stand a chance vs Lopez unless you slipped date rape in Lopez's water bottle

People usually aftertime to make themselves look clever, not the contrary

Please tell me it was Good Value Losers Abolo...

haha no it wasn't him, i have absolutly no sympathy for good value losers

some1 say GVL?????????
